Universal Studios has just unveiled a brand new trailer for the reimagining of the classic TV series The Fall Guy which starred Lee Majors. Taking over in the film is Ryan Gosling and this one looks to take action and stunt work Tina whole new level as it’s directed by David Leitch (Hobbs & Shaw, Bullet Train, John Wick) with set pieces choreographed via his 87North team. Check out the full throttle teaser below!
He’s a stuntman, and like everyone in the stunt community, he gets blown up, shot, crashed, thrown through windows and dropped from the highest of heights, all for our entertainment. And now, fresh off an almost career-ending accident, this working-class hero has to track down a missing movie star, solve a conspiracy and try to win back the love of his life while still doing his day job. What could possibly go right?
From real life stunt man and director David Leitch, the blockbuster director of Bullet Train, Deadpool 2, Atomic Blonde and Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw and the producer of John Wick, Nobody and Violent Night, comes his most personal film yet. A new hilarious, hard-driving, all-star apex-action thriller and love letter to action movies and the hard-working and under-appreciated crew of people who make them: The Fall Guy.
Oscar® nominee Ryan Gosling (Barbie, La La Land, Drive) stars as Colt Seavers, a battle-scarred stuntman who, having left the business a year earlier to focus on both his physical and mental health, is drafted back into service when the star of a mega-budget studio movie—being directed by his ex, Jody Moreno, played by Golden Globe winner Emily Blunt (Oppenheimer, A Quiet Place films, Sicario)—goes missing.
Inspired by the hit 1980s TV series, The Fall Guy also stars Winston Duke (Black Panther franchise) and Academy Award® nominee Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All at Once).
From a screenplay by Hobbs & Shaw screenwriter Drew Pearce, The Fall Guy is produced by Kelly McCormick (Bullet Train, Nobody, Atomic Blonde) and David Leitch for their company 87North, and by Ryan Gosling and by Guymon Casady (Game of Thrones, Steve Jobs and executive producer of the upcoming series Ripley) for Entertainment 360. The film is executive produced by Drew Pearce, Entertainment 360’s Geoff Shaevitz and the creator of the original Fall Guy television series, Glen A. Larson.
I have a confession to make as I was never a huge fan of the TV show with Majors. I was always more of a Six Million Dollar Man myself but this looks fun and Gosling is really pulling in the action leads as of late. With Leitch at the helm and 87North doing their thing in the action set piece department, this looks like a legit peddle to the metal thrill ride. I’ll be eager to check this one out next year.
Any movie that highlights the stunt works and gives the their very just dos is tops in my book. Lock N Load for more to come!
